IIC Battery Size: 10

Preparation

Batteries

Your hearing system uses a battery as its power

source. This battery size can be identiﬁed by

the orange (13), brown (312) or yellow (10)

color code on the packaging.

To insert or replace the battery:

1. Use the nail grip on the battery door.

2. Open the battery door gently and

remove the old battery.

3. Remove the tab from the new battery.

4. Line up the battery’s “+” sign (ﬂat side

of the battery) with the “+” on the

battery door.

5. Close the battery door.

Battery Indicators

An indicator will sound when the battery voltage

is low. You have approximately ﬁve minutes* to

replace the battery. An indicator will sound just

before the battery stops working.

* Actual time between low battery indicator and shut down will vary

depending on environmental noise levels and brand of battery used.

Preparation

Helpful Hints

• NEVER FORCE THE BATTERY DOOR

SHUT; this could result in serious

damage; if the door will not close

securely, check that the battery is

inserted correctly.

• Do not open the battery door too far

or damage is likely to occur.

• Because of their size, it’s a good idea

to change and replace batteries above

a table or desk to reduce the risk of

dropping the instrument or battery.

• Dispose of used batteries immediately

in the proper waste or recycling

container.

• Because batteries can vary in size

and performance, your hearing care

professional is your best source for

lifespan estimates and veriﬁcation that

you are using the proper size and type.

Preparation

WARNINGS Batteries are dangerous if swallowed.

To help prevent the accidental ingestion of batteries:

Keep out of reach of children and pets

Check your medications before taking them –

batteries have been mistaken for pills

Never put batteries in your mouth, as they can easily

be swallowed
